The Department of Justice has a decentralized system for handling FOIA requests. All FOIA requests should be addressed directly to the
component that maintains the records you are seeking. A description of the functions of the Department's components can be found at:
http://www.usdoj.gov/oip/attachmentbmay99.htm
If you are not certain which component has the records you are seeking, you should send your request to the Mail Referral Unit of the
Justice Management Division, which will then forward your request to the component(s) it believes are most likely to maintain the records you seek.
That address is:
